I am surprised that this swap doesn't happen every day somewhere in America!

My limited experience with 4.2's has always been blown up ,about to blow up or replacement 4.2 is about to or has blown up .

I haven't done any obd2 swaps yet , let alone Ford, is this mission impossible or just very difficult?

Could an 89 5.0 be updated ,intake ,sensor and connector wise to be used in a 97 e150 ?
Thanks and Regards,Ed
